 APC PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN COUNCIL PRESS STATEMENT ATIKU MUST EXPLAIN THE LEGAL AND FISCAL BASIS OF HIS PETROL SUBSIDY PROPOSAL At his press conference in Abuja on Friday, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar reiterated his proposed  “production subsidy” for locally refined petrol, which he said would reduce pump prices. He went further to ask President Bola Tinubu to slash the cost of diesel and petrol at the pump. That proposal raises important legal, fiscal and practical questions that he must answer. Section 205(1) of the Petroleum Industry Act 2021 provides that unrestricted free-market conditions shall determine wholesale and retail prices of petroleum products. The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, in a statement on Saturday, explained that it neither fixes pump prices nor issues administrative price templates, except where the statutory conditions for intervention are met.

DRUNKEN TOURISTS PUT IN CART AND WHEELED BACK TO THEIR HOSTEL BY THAI POLICEMAN. (PHOTOS).

Tourists who passed out from binge drinking have been piled into wheelbarrows by police and taken back to their hostel in Thailand.

Two women wearing swimwear were photographed unconscious in trolleys being pushed by a policeman on party island Koh Phi Phi in Krabi, Thailand, on Nov 29.

The German and Australian women, aged 19 and 23, were said to have been found at a nearby bar before Sergeant Major Saneg Jualaong came to their aid with a pushcart.


The scenes come after warnings over drinks laced with methanol in neighbouring Laos, which left six foreign tourists dead last month.

Local authorities are still investigating the deaths of the six backpackers in Vang Vieng, including 28-year-old British lawyer Simone White, whose friend later urged travellers to “avoid all local spirits” after their group had drunk free shots at one of the bars.

After wheeling the two women in Thailand back to their hostel, Sergeant Major Jualaong said: “I know what it’s like to have a daughter and how much we worry about them.

“I thought about their parents back at home. They were both too drunk to speak and too drunk to stand up.

“In that condition, they could have an accident, such as falling into the sea or falling down steps.

“I made sure they returned safely to their beds.”

Police Colonel Surasak Jaidee, superintendent of Koh Phi Phi Police Station, added that a trolley had been used because all the routes were pedestrianised and a motorcycle was “unable to transport unconscious passengers”.
